Barbarian
Base Class: Barbarian

Your tribe or clan lived in an area infested by giants.  They were the alpha predator in the vicinity for many years.  Over the years your people have learned how to fight giants unlike any others.  You spend your free time increasing your strength in preparation of the encounters you have with your hated enemies.  Your tactics work on more than just giants however and you have found them extremely versatile the further you travel from giant territory.

Corded Muscles

Your constant strength training has caused your muscles to layer over one another.  Starting at 3rd level, your maximum strength increases to 22.  In addition, when your rage, add your strength modifier to your AC while you are not wearing armor.  If you reach level 20, your Primal Champion ability raises your Strength score’s maximum to 26.

Hated Foe

At 6th level, your hatred burns hot for all giants.  You add your proficiency bonus on all attacks and damage against giants.  You also gain advantage on survival (tracking) checks and  intimidate checks in regards to giants as well as on intelligence checks to recall information about giants.  

Larger Targets

Starting at 10th level: You have learned that the best way to take down an enemy larger than you are is to hit fast, hit hard and keep dodging.  While raging AND you are fighting Large or Larger sized enemies you gain the following abilities:  

  • Whenever you are attacked (hit or missed) within your melee range, you can use a reaction to attack that creature immediately after it’s attack.  
  • Every attack you make with a Heavy weapon you add double your strength modifier to damage.  
  • Your enemies attacks have disadvantage against you.  This effectively removes the Reckless Attack advantage to your enemies’ attacks.

Blood Rage

Starting at 14th level: Your rage is fueled by the blood of your enemies.  Every time YOU bring an enemy to 0 hit points your rage abilities are increased.  All of these abilities stack without limit until your rage ends.

  • Your speed increases by 10’ until your rage ends.  
  • You add 2 to your attacks and damage until your rage ends.  
  • You add 2 to your armor class and saving throws until your rage ends.  
  • Your rage duration increases by 2 rounds.
